Xiaomi Mi 5X Expected to Launch in India in September

Xiaomi India’s Managing Director Manu Kumar Jain tweeted that the company will launch its first dual-camera smartphone in India in September. “Can’t wait for you guys to check out Xiaomi’s first dual-camera phone in India. Coming next month,” Jain wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. He didn’t mention the smartphone model, but it might be the newly launched Xiaomi Mi 5X.

If you are still waiting for Mi6, it isn’t coming to India, the company has no plans to launch it here. The Xiaomi Redmi Pro smartphone also has dual-rear camera setup, but it is an old model now.
